THE DESERT BY IAN JOSH KYRAH LOCATION The cool features of the desert are there are rocks, sand, sand dunes, and rocky towers. Deserts are located in.

What is a desert? Deserts can be hot or cold but they are always dry. They receive less than 25 cm of precipitation annually. They cover 22 million km.

Presentation transcript:

The Bilby Size Small marsupial Sun/ drought dodging Nocturnal Water intake Low needs – gets enough from food such as fungi Special move Burrowing for cooler, moister conditions Desert survival score /10

The Perentie Size Giant lizard (one of the top predators) Sun/ drought dodging Hides in rock crevices Water intake Low needs – gets enough from food such insects Special move Hibernates during winter Desert survival score /10

The Red Kangaroo Size World’s largest marsupial Sun/ drought dodging Feeds at dawn and dusk and sleeps during day Water intake Gets a lot of water from dew Special move Hopping (surprisingly energy efficient!) Desert survival score /10

Drought Avoidance plants Size Only survive one season so don’t grow to be large Sun/ drought dodging Rapid life cycle and die after seeding. Seeds last for years. Water intake Seeds only germinate when moisture levels are high Special move Germinate after autumn rain and can survive winter frosts Desert survival score /10

Drought Tolerant plants Size Extensive and deep roots to get to underground water Sun/ drought dodging Shed leaves to stop transpiration or have waxy leaves to stop water loss Water intake Absorbs water very quickly and stores large amounts of water Special move Can photosynthesise with a low level of water Desert survival score /10

Succulent plants Size Extensive but shallow roots Sun/ drought dodging Closes stomata during drought to stop water loss and growth Water intake Absorbs water very quickly and stores large amounts of water Special move Most have spines or are toxic to avoid thirsty animals Desert survival score /10
